DCCC is very cost efficient as it is cheap enough to beat a 4 year school but costs enough to provide an excellent education for students.

What to do for fun

One of the many perks to DCCC is the small lake that is located on campus. Students can go out and fish anytime they would like or just enjoy the scenery. If not interested in that, just down the road is a mall and movie theater.

The dorm life here at DCCC is constantly improving, the girls are in a brand new dorm that is only being used for the second year now. It has spacious rooms, lounges with TVs on both floors and in the basement is a game room. The men are getting a brand new dorm that is being built right now. It will be ready for use next year.

Academic Rigor

The academic rigor at Dodge City Community college is great, the teachers are there for you most any time you need them whether it be by email or face to face. If you stay on course with your schooling and do what the teachers ask, and seek help if you need it DCCC is the place for you.

Tips for prospective students

Prospective students should come in with an open mind looking to make acquaintances with class mates as well as teachers and staff. Try and be active with campus activities and let your voice be heard.

Dodge City is a great college to attend if you are looking for a school with small class sizes and instructors who can personally help you. All the staff will do what they need to do to help you with anything you may need. The campus is constantly changing as many new buildings are being built such as dorms and new activities center.

Campus Safety

Security guards are on duty at all times. The college is in the process of basing a full time security team at the college. Lighting is excellent and there are large parking areas with little isolation in any area.

Great for these types of students

Students who are used to and prefer a small town atmosphere; students who may struggle a bit with studies and need smaller classes and more instructor involvement; students who want to participate in competitive sports but do not have the talent to make the teams in a D1 college.

Bang for the buck

Most of the major prerequisites are available and a much lower cost than many colleges so attending DCCC to complete these courses will reduce the amount of loans you may need for education beyond the 2 year program and reduce the overall financial debt.

What to do for fun

There are many sports programs so students have to opportunity to participate or to attend and support students who are competing. The town has a movie theater and several inexpensive places to eat. It is a small town so there is not the choices of entertainment that the cities provide, but for students who are interested in studying and socializing with each other, there will always be something to do.

Food and Dining

Cafeteria is available for meals. There is also a snack bar for light meals and snacks.

Academic Rigor

Many academic choices are available and you can opt to take easy classes or actual courses to prepare you for further studies. You have the opportunity to set your own goals and work towards them.

Tips for prospective students

Contact the financial office as soon as possible to find out what scholarships and other aid is available. It is important to meet with an advisor to guide you in enrolling in the prerequisite classes to prepare for your major studies and to assure you do not waste time and money on courses you do not need.
